I do not have any Novell stuff installed. I will try to install as you suggested. Thanks for the info. I'll let the list know if this worked.
Dave -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 6:50 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Dave, I suspect this is bug 1291239 "OUI DISAPPEARS WHILE INSTALLING OLE DB COMPONENTS" that is not yet fixed. The workaround is to do as Simon said and install in multiple passes. 1- Choose the custom install type. Select for installation only the problem component (e.g. Oracle Provider for OLE DB). The last itemName in the installactions.log is the "problem component." De-select all other components you're allowed to. This will ensure that you only install the minimum number of components possible to install the problem component. 2- After the first session is done, now restart OUI and start a new installation. This time you can select the typical install type (or any other install type). The items installed during the first pass will not be reinstalled during the second pass. BTW, both bug 1291239 and bug 1560970 appear to be related to having the Novell client installed. Per chance is that installed on the ones giving you problems?
